Mar 07, 2019: How random can you be?Suppose I asked you to generate a random sequence of ones and zeroes. Every time you add another 1 or 0 to the sequence, I am going to predict your next choice. Do you think you can make your sequence random enough that I fail to guess more than ~50% correct? Read this post to find out. Spoiler — you are not so random.

Nov 17, 2018: Popularity of car colours in the Greater Toronto AreaAccording to a survey conducted in 2012 by PPG Industries, white (21%) and black (19%) were the two most popular colours in North America followed closely by silver and grey (16% each). Red and blue accounted for 10 and 8% respectively.

Jun 10, 2018: Visualization of E, V, B fieldsMost physics textbooks illustrate electric and magnetic fields with field lines which are sets of parametrized curves with tangents defined by field vectors. Field lines are great for emphasizing the directional nature of E and B fields, however they fail to convey the magnitude of forces acting on charges by such fields. One way to overcome this issue is to add level curves indicating vector magnitude.
